Cool Whip Candy Recipe
3 Ingredient Cool Whip Candy is a fast and budget-friendly dessert for any holiday gathering. These simple frozen treats come together in minutes without ever turning on the oven. You will love the rich and creamy texture hidden inside a snowy coating of powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 8-ounce tub whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- Pinch of salt optional
- 1 to 1½ cups powdered sugar for rolling (more as needed)
Instructions
- Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.
- Let the chocolate cool for 3 to 5 minutes so it’s warm, not hot.
- Add the thawed whipped topping to the bowl. Fold gently with a spatula until fully combined and no white streaks remain.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until the mixture is firm enough to scoop and roll.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop to portion the mixture onto the tray.
- Roll each portion into a ball. If the mixture sticks, dust your hands lightly with powdered sugar or chill the tray for 10 minutes and try again.
- Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until coated. Place back on the tray.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a “snowy” look, roll the truffles twice in powdered sugar (once before chilling, once after).
Store chilled for the best texture.
Try rolling in cocoa powder, coconut, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts for variety.
